Shovel_Break 2 hours ago#1 Which series fell from grace harder and lost more popularity? - Results (47 votes) Halo 38.3% 18 Gears of War 61.7% 29 During the Xbox 360 days, these two series were forces to be reckoned with. Both Halo and Gears had launches that were among the biggest of last gen in terms of exclusive games. This gen though, its like hardly anyone remembers their multiplayer legacy or even cares about the latest games in the series. Theres no denying that these games dropped hard with the masses, but which do you think lost the most popularity and relevancy?

Shovel_Break (Topic Creator)2 hours ago#5 RonBurgundy929 posted... Killzone Killzone was never a massive series like Halo and Gears once were. Even though they have been cutdown immensely this gen, they are still the two biggest flagship series of Xbox. Its why Guerrilla Games had no trouble moving onto Horizon: Zero Dawn, which is easily the most successful game they ever created :).

The only thing it's got going for it, are the bots multiplayer with actual level progression. not only do the botd actualy play the objective, thjey're needed with the minimal playercount (matchmaking people across 2500mi spans) Oh and Uncharted. ND should've dropped that series afte no. 2, because 3 is boring in it's own right, but they actually managed to make the 4th one even worse. http://i.imgur.com/YeGyOr5.png See all my accounts here: https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/575499-alternate-reality-the-city/75475822 (edited 2 hours ago)quote

RococoEra 2 hours ago#12 Order 1886 was awesome Gears for sure though, I think mainly due to the horrible design decisions they made. Gears was a hardcore game that depends on hardcore players to sustain it, and the shotty dlc practices that they pulled turned off a lot of people like myself. Sig quote

The first post has no indication of that, more (fake) concerns about multiplayer and and people forgetting the games. If this is about sales, I believe Halo sold >5mill and GoW4 >4 which translates to approximately the same attachrate as UC4 (given the respective playerbases) If it's not about sales, then both UC4 and Killzone are all but dead online. It's actually easier to find games in COD Ghosts. yes, I tested it. Shovel_Break posted... Both Killzone and Resistance are series that the developers have moved on from. Guerrilla Games is making Horizon 2 as we speak and Insomniac is working on that PS4 Exclusive Spider-Man game Goalpost moving in effect. It doesn't matter if the devs are doing something else. Your first post is all about forgotten games and lost legacies ... or do we go back to sales on this one? I suspect not, as Killzone didn't do too well (again keep the larger playerbase in mind) and resistance ... well, it sold 0 copies because depiste being all about the exclusives, Sony dropped this one completely (unfortunately). But let's cut all the BS: All in all this topic is one big fail on your part. You're not fooling anyone, only giving us decent PS4 gamers a bad name. Just enjoy your hobby, and if you hate the competition so much ignore them. I blame people like you for the lack of b/c, EA Access, cross play and the recent price hike on the online paywall.

VanderZoo 46 minutes ago#32 Definitely Gears of War 4. Gears of War was the shit last gen, but I just didn't see anywhere near the same amount of hype for 4. And the sales reflect that.  Gears of War was a system seller last gen, I bought a 360 just for it. The graphics, multiplayer, gore and 3rd person cover shooting were groundbreaking.  I guess the gameplay just hasn't innovated enough since though. I remember thinking Gears 4 looked cool, but it still just looks like Gears, and I saw others say that. So why then has Uncharted 4 done so much better and overtaken Gears (and Halo) now? I think it's a mixture of 360 owners getting a PS4 and being interested in trying out Uncharted for the first time. And because unlike Gears, the story is the bigger attraction in Uncharted. Doesn't matter if the gameplay has also become stale, people are interested in Nate's last adventure. https://www.gog.com/ - 100% DRM free gaming quote
